2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE DRIVING, DINGS EACH TIME WHEN I ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A STOP, MESSAGE IS "SHIFT TO PARK".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

DOOR SENSOR STATES DOOR AJAR ON PANEL WHEN IT IS CLOSED. WILL HAVE TO SHUT DOOR PRETTY HARD SEVERAL TIMES.

TODAY OUR 2012 EDGE LOST ALL POWER AS WE ACCELERATED FROM A STOP SIGN ONTO A MAIN ROAD FEEDING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 25 MILES /HOUR SO WE WEREN'T ACCELERATING QUICKLY. WE HADN'T EVEN COMPLETED THE TURN WHEN ALL POWER WAS LOST AND WE COASTED TO A STOP AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAVING HEARD OF OTHER FAILINGS LIKE THIS WE SHUT OFF THE CAR AND AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR RAN THE REST OF PLANNED TRIP AROUND TOWN WITH NO FURTHER TROUBLES. IF WE HAD BEEN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH LIMITED SAFE AREAS TO PULL OVER, OR IN THE FAST LANE ON THE FREEWAY WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.

THE FRONT DOOR AJAR LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND STAYING ON NO MATTER HOW YOU SLAMMED THE DOOR SHUT (IT WAS NOT AJAR). WHEN STOPPING IT WOULD SAY TO PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT THE DOOR. WHEN PARKED THE INSIDE LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON, DRAINING THE BATTERY, RUINING THE BATTERY.

DRIVING DOWN BUSY STREET I WENT AROUND A BEND AND MY EDGE LOST POWER. EVERYTHING SHOT DOWN AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON. SEVERAL VEHICLES ALMOST HIT ME AS THEY WERE COMING AROUND THE BEND AND I HAD NO POWER TO MOVE. I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND CALLED MY HUSBAND. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO START MY CAR. WE WERE ON VACATION AND STOPPED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND SAID IT WAS FINE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AND I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE 75% SURE IT IS WAS A THROTTLE BODY. OVER $400 LATER I THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED. I MADE A TURN THE OTHER DAY AND IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS LOSING POWER BUT IT DID NOT STALL. IT WAS SLUGGISH FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE THEN IT WAS OK. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR INDICATOR ON DASH/WARNING LIGHT. DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED, DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND AUDIBLE INDICATOR REMAINS ON BUT CAN BE MUTED BY SELECTING OK. "SHIFT TO PARK" LIGHT/INDICATOR COMES ON WHEN STOPPED AND STARTING AGAIN. DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT AUTO/MANUAL LOCK, UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY.

DOOR LATCH SENSOR - DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH SENSOR IS FAULTY. RANDOMLY INDICATES DOOR IS OPEN, UNLOCKS ALL DOORS WHILE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. RANDOMLY UNLOCKS VEHICLE WHILE PARKED AS WELL AS TURNS LIGHTS ON - THUS DRAINING BATTERY AND MAY LEAVE DRIVER STRANDED.

BRAKES MADE A HISSING SOUND WHEN PRESSED AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN PRESSED. WHEN BACKING UP THERE WERE HARDLY ANY BRAKES AVAILABLE TO STOP. TOOK IT INTO A MECHANIC AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS NOT SIMPLY REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS BUT THIS IS A MECHANICAL ISSUE ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. STARTED YESTERDAY (AUGUST 30). DOOR IS SHUT BUT LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. I RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I JUST BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR ANOTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM (PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON) TWO WEEKS AGO WHICH COST OVER $400 TO REPAIR. PLEASE SEE MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT REGARDING THE AIRBAG LIGHT 10899708.
